Love this place, the best shrimp burrito and shrimp cocktail I've had. The people there are so nice.

I got the wet vegetarian burrito and it was fairly large, they also have an unlimited salsa + chips bar. It was pretty good with a healthy serving of guac. The prices were also super reasonable. The only con about this place is that the parking situation is right off the freeway which is not ideal. Not too much parking either, but I've never really struggled.

Stopped by this place to grab some dinner, and their "wet style" super burrito sounded like just the thing. Me and my girlfriend both got one with different meat options to split. The service was not particularly friendly, but that may not be the case if you happen to speak fluent Spanish. So, your mileage may vary there. That said, we were absolutely not prepared for how super the "super burrito" actually was haha. You can see in the pictures I took, the burritos were enormous. They were really good, though! Just prepare yourself for one of the largest burritos you've ever seen in your life if you order the super burrito.

The burrito I ordered was delicious, huge and good value. The salsa bar had a nice variety of items including radish. I only wish that they made homemade corn chips. You place your order at the counter and they bring your items to your table. The ambience is casual, lots of sport on big TV's. Parking is limited.

Went here for lunch with some coworkers and got a super carne asada burrito. The food came out pretty quick after ordering. The burrito was huge and packed with a lot of food. The flavor was good as well. They offer complimentary chips and have an extensive salsa bar. Love that they have grilled Serranos and other sides. Their salsas are great with the chips and the burrito. There's a good amount of seats in the restaurant for dine in but parking can be tough. Parking is limited and the spots are usually taken.

The Salsa bar is back and I just returned to this favorite place last week! Perfecto!

I would not give any star to this restaurant for they treat customers with contempt and provided poor customer service. Also, both cooks who prepare the food did not wear protective hair cover. I ordered the lunch food to go (2 orders) and paid, but noticed all other customers who stood behind me in the line were served food first after about 10-15 min wait. Then I asked the cashier when my food would be ready, she said they were very busy and would get to it later, without looking at me. After another 7-8 minutes additional wait, I asked again and they kept the same statement as before without any eye contact. Given such poor customer service and contempt, I asked for the refund. I'd NOT recommend this place to anyone.

Best burrito on this side of the bay. Their tortillas are something else! I love their fish burrito! The staff is on top of it and service is generally quick. Also the decor of the place is fun and there's always a few people there but never too packed.

Best grilled chicken tacos around! Perfectly cooked chicken, tasty. Perfectly cooked tortillas. Onions and salsa. Yum!!!

Used to go to place, but it's gone downhill significantly. The staff is tired, overworked, and grouchy and the food is inconsistent.

Tasted fine but once it hit the intestines it was a nuisance. Never buying food from this place

Been going here for years. My usual go to is their steak and shrimp burrito. This time, I ordered the Taco Salad with Shrimp ($14.80). The tostada was filled with rice, beans, lettuce, quite a bit of shrimp, and topped with cheese, crema (?), and tomatoes. Quite filling - couldn't finish it all. Good salad, but thought something about the flavor was missing.
